Crafted Along the Grand Canal. Designed for a New Era.
Spanning over 2,500 years, the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal is more than a historic waterway — it’s a living artery of Chinese civilization. Flowing through Jiangsu Province, the canal nurtures a rich ecosystem of intangible cultural heritage, from hand-dyed silks to woodcarving, incense crafting, and beyond.
At CGC-ICH (China Grand Canal Intangible Cultural Heritage), we draw inspiration from this living legacy.
What We Believe
Heritage is not a relic. It is alive, evolving, and ready to be rediscovered.
We believe in honoring the spirit of craftsmanship while designing for how people live, gift, and express themselves today.
Every object we make carries the soul of an artisan, a regional technique, or a centuries-old story — reimagined in a form that’s beautiful, functional, and globally resonant.
How We Work
CGC-ICH collaborates with heritage artisans, designers, and cultural researchers to create products that bridge tradition and contemporary life. From silk sachets to carved incense holders, we focus on craftsmanship that’s not just preserved — but made relevant again.
Through cross-border e-commerce, storytelling, and modern branding, we make space for these traditions to thrive — and travel.
From Jiangsu, To the World
CGC-ICH is headquartered in Jiangsu, China’s richest region of Grand Canal heritage. Our team works closely with national- and provincial-level intangible cultural heritage inheritors, ensuring that each piece is rooted in cultural authenticity and social value.
Whether you’re lighting incense, gifting a handmade object, or decorating your home — we hope CGC-ICH offers you more than a product: a connection to meaning, origin, and the artistry of everyday life.
